Glazing silicone for conservatories, rooflights, glass panels and shower screens for homes and businesses in Burghclere and across West Berkshire. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.

- Cracked silicone between glass panels
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Burghclere, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we check where the water gets in.
- We remove the old sealant carefully.
- The joint is cleaned and degreased.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Glazing silicone for homes and businesses in Burghclere
Many conservatory leaks come down to failed sealant, where glass meets frame or frame meets wall. We find the joint that’s letting water in and renew it and tell you plainly if the cause is something else. If you have leaks from the base of a shower screen and failed sealant around rooflight glass, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Burghclere, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Do not use a blade near the sealant
- Squeegee the shower screen after each use
- Clear the conservatory gutters regularly
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly, so water drains away from the joints. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
A leaking shower screen may not show at first. Water can soak into the floor or reach the room below long before you see it.
Your questions about glazing silicone in Burghclere
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Is Burghclere within the area you cover?
Yes, Burghclere is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it possible to redo the silicone on a shower screen?
We can. The old bead comes off without marking the glass before cleaning and resealing.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you just put new silicone over the old?
New silicone will not bond to old silicone, so a top-up soon lets water through. The old bead always comes out first.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What guarantee do I get?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Burghclere homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Highclere Castle (about 1.9 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Burghclere has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and a shower screen or conservatory joint that leaks is easier to reseal while the property is empty. Schools such as Burghclere Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of the Ascension, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Burghclere is about 4 miles south of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Jobs in Burghclere get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Burghclere is one of 155 towns and villages in West Berkshire we cover. Our Reading page covers work nearby.

What affects the cost of glazing silicone
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
Topping up old silicone can look like a fix, but silicone does not stick to silicone and water soon finds its way back. Cutting out and resealing properly lasts. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Burghclere, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
Glass-to-glass joints
These joints are on show, so we take care to leave a neat bead.
Glass-to-frame joints
The sealant must stick to glass and frame alike. We choose a product that suits both.
